- Pergamon Museum

It is the most visited museum in Berlin and inside it houses the Museum of Islamic Art, the Museum of the East and an impressive collection of antiquities. Although, undoubtedly, the most spectacular part of the museum is the Altar of Pérgamo, a colossal building built more than 2,000 years ago to thank the gods for the blessings received.

You will also be surprised by the great reconstruction of the door of the Roman market of Miletus, 17 meters high, and the Astarte gate that gave way to ancient Babylon in the 6th century BC. These monumental buildings turn the Pergamon Museum into an amazing place far from the sober image of a gallery.

- Legoland

The Legoland theme park in Berlin is an interior space of 3,500 square meters that recreates a world built entirely with pieces of Lego.

In the factory area, visitors discover how the pieces are for a little later to try to build their masterpiece that must withstand the force of an earthquake to show that it is truly solid.

A track of racing cars, a jungle and a 4D cinema are other attractions, although one of the most surprising is the Miniland that recreates the city of Berlin in miniature with more than four million Lego pieces.

The park is located in Potsdamer Str. 4
Legoland is open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

- Underwelten Museum

The Underwelten Museum is not a museum to use. It is actually an underground tour through the bunkers that lie beneath the city of Berlin: more than 3,000.

Depending on the type of route, guides guide travelers into protection towers, atomic shelters, anti-aircraft shelters, etc. In any of the cases it is a highly recommended experience -not suitable for claustrophobic- very didactic and very curious for children.

The tours start at Brunnenstraße, 105.
